On Saturday, July 29, undefeated Crawford and Spence Jr. will battle at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for the highly awaited welterweight title (147 pounds). They recently faced each other in a final press conference. Let's take a look at the highlights of the conference!
On Thursday evening, they confronted each other, and Mike Tyson facilitated a coin toss to decide the order of walking out. Crawford called "heads" and was declared the winner when Tyson flipped the coin.
Spence Jr. started by honoring his parents and then called on the audience and viewers to prepare for a fierce showdown, saying, "bring some seasoning because we’re going to have a Craw-fish bowl and boil his a**."
Crawford responded with, "Everything about Terence Crawford is better than Errol Spence Jr. When you look at everything I do in the ring, it’s better than Errol Spence Jr."
Errol Spence Jr also stated, "It means I am one of the greatest welterweights that ever laced up a pair of gloves...So you all tune in, I guarantee there’s going to be nothing but fireworks from start to finish.”
Crawford had a befitting reply and stated that this is his era, "So given the body of work and how long I’ve been doing it for, yeah, this is the Terence Crawford era. I never had a close fight, I never had a fight where people thought I lost, I never had a fight that I didn’t look spectacular in."
